All three tendencies stayed true to form last weekend, when Perry’s latest melodrama, “Tyler Perry’s Temptation” opened to belated, lousy reviews and solid box-office numbers. It has an 18 Tomatometer score, and a zero from the 11 Top Critics who bothered to check it out after it opened.

This has been the form since critics panned his first movie, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” in 2005. To say there’s a cultural gap between Perry’s stage plays made into movies and most of the critics who review them is an understatement. Perry has made more than a dozen movies since then (most of which he wrote, produced, directed and appeared in) and hasn’t screened a one of them.

I covered that topic here, so there’s no need to belabor it further. But we’ll have to revisit it frequently, since Perry is so prolific. His studio, Lionsgate Entertainment, lists three more Perry titles in the next 14 months on its website — “Tyler Perry Presents Peeples” (May 10), “Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas” (Dec. 10) and “Tyler Perry’s Single Moms Club” (May 14 ,2014).

Actually “Peeples,” a fish-out-of-water comedy about a guy who crashes a preppy family reunion, was written and directed by Tina Gordon Chism, who wrote “Drumline”; Perry is producer. But somebody deserves praise for casting veteran actor Melvin Van Peebles as Grandpa Peeples.
